ITunes can't download the software upgrade for my Ipod

I have a new Ipod Nano 8GB. When I connected to Itunes it tells me that there is a new software update available for it (I think it was version 1.1). ITunes then tries to download it.
The trouble is that I don't have broadband, and have no plans at present. My dial-up connection took over 3 hours to download ITunes when I first got the Ipod. I would be quite happy to let it take as long as that to download the software upgrade for the nano but I tried several times and the line kept dropping.
Is it available anywhere as a stand-alone download? (I can download using another machine I have access to which cannot have itunes installed on it)
Thanks,
Stewart

If y are getting an error that yu can't contact the update server then:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise why can't our download the update?

  • I downloaded the new upgrade for Premier Elements 13 the other day, and now my program will hardly operate and will not do basic functions.  What can I do?

    I downloaded the new upgrade for Premier Elements 13 the other day, and every since then my program will hardly operate and cannot do most functions.  What can I do?

    Bill
    I went to the Premiere Elements 13 tryout page at the Adobe web site and downloaded the tryout. I used the Firefox browser (latest version).
    These are the details according to what was presented to me today
    1. In choice of download, I selected Multiple LanguagesIWindows 64 bitI 1.67 GB. I do not have a Windows 7 or 8 32 bit computer.
    In your case, you would expect that you used used Multiple LanguagesIWindows 1.50 GB (which would have been the 32 bit version
    in agreement with your Windows 7 or 8 32 bit computer.
    2. When I pressed the Download button, there appeared
    Akamai Download Manager
    Browse For Folder dialog - (where I designated Desktop as my save location for the saved file/folders from the download)
    3. The first file to download was the .7z which is named Premiereelements 13_LS26_win64.7z (in my case, in yours it should be ...._win32.7x)
    File 1 of 2.
    The second file to download was the .exe which is named PremiereElements 13_LS26_win64.exe (in my case, in yours it should be..._win32.exe)
    4. When "3" is finished, automatically the Install Now comes up with a dialog regarding the .exe with an Open button. Click on the Open button.
    5. Next there is a Folder Location dialog which I had set
    C:\Uses\Owner\Desktop\Adobe Premiere Elements 13
    I clicked next in this Folder Location dialog.
    6. Next there was an Adobe Premiee Elements 13 dialog "Preparing Files" with mention of "Extracting Files".
    When the extraction process was complete, there was the automatic appearance of the Files Are Ready with a check mark next to
    "Launch Adobe Premiere Elements 13. There I clicked the Finished button.
    7. Next up was the Adobe Installer dialog and the "Initializing Installer" message.
    8. Next came the Welcome dialog with choices of Install or Try. I selected Try.
    If you have a purchased serial number already, I assume that you can click install and use your purchased serial number.
    9. Next came the sign In Required dialog where I click the Sign In button.
    10. Next the Adobe Software License Agreement to which I clicked Accept.
    11. Next the Options dialog -
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13 4.1 GB
    Language English (North America)
    Location C:\Program Files\Adobe
    to all of 11 I clicked Install.
    and said Yes to User Account Control pop up.
    12. Automatic Install from there on.
    When I looked at my desktop I found saved there
    a. the .exe file
    b. the .7x file
    c. an Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Folder
    any of which I believe I could have installed from as I have described to you previously.
    If you cannot get the above to work, then you can try going through the process of getting the Adobe Premiere Elements 13 tryout
    from
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    There you will end up with the .exe and .7z downloads. After you download and save these two to your desktop, then you begin the
    process by double clicking the exe and following the on screen instructions.
    Please review the above and determine how much of it you have been through before and the choices that you have made along the way.

    It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?
